Thank you, Mr. Ruimy.

Is there any discussion?

Seeing none, all in favour of this motion?

(Motion agreed to)

Thank you very much.

I believe we have put in our time for today. Thank you very much. I appreciate the extension and everyone helping with that.

I'd like to thank the translators for putting in the extra hour, all of the clerks and my staff up here, the analysts, and all of the folks behind me. Thank you very much.

The meeting is adjourned.
